Upon deployment, tear seams molded di- rectly into the pad covers will separate underpressure from the expansion of the airbags.Further opening of the covers then allows fullinflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's orthe passenger's forward motion, thus reduc-ing the risk of head or chest injury. CAUTION: Do not install or place any accessories (drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc)on the front passenger's panel above theglove box in a vehicle with passenger'sside air bag.

B240B03A-DAT SRS Components and Functions
SSA1110B
The SRS consists of the following compo- nents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if afrontal or near-frontal impact is severe enoughto require airbag deployment.

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there maybe a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. Theseconditions are normal and are not haz-ardous. However, the fine dust generat-ed during airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash yourhands and face thoroughly with luke-warm water and a mild soap after anaccident in which the airbags were de-ployed.
o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. Ifthe SRS SRI does not come on, orcontinuously remains on, after flashingfor about 6 seconds when the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, or comes onwhile driving, the SRS is not workingproperly. If this occurs, have your ve-hicle immediately inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn the ignition keyto the "LOCK" position or remove theignition key. Never remove or replacethe air bag related fuse(s) when theignition key is in the "ON" position.Failure to heed this warning will causethe SRS SRI to illuminate.
Passenger's Airbag
After complete inflation, the airbag immedi- ately starts deflating, enabling the driver tomaintain forward visibility. CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place itnear the instrument cluster nor on theinstrument panel pad surface. If there isany leakage from the air freshener ontothese areas (instrument cluster, instrumentpanel pad or air ventilator), it may damagethese parts. If the liquid from the air fresh-ener does leak onto these areas, washthem with water immediately. YR10353A

Side Impact Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of theairbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/orthe front passenger with additional protectionthan that offered by the seat belt alone. Theside impact airbags are designed to deployonly during certain side impact collisions, de-pending on the crash severity, angle, speedand point of impact. The air bags are notdesigned to deploy in all side impact situa-tions. B990B02Y

WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant orchild could be severely injured by anairbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat pro-tected by an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wir- ing, including the addition of any kindof badges to the pad covers or modifi-cations to the body structure, can ad-versely affect SRS performance and leadto possible injury.
WARNING:
o For best protection from the side airbag
system and to avoid being injured is by the deploying side impact airbag, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt prop-erly fastened. The driver's hands shouldbe placed on the steering wheel at the9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. Thepassenger's arms and hands should beplaced in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself. B240C03Y-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safely service byyourself. The entire SRS system must beinspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in10 years after the date that the vehicle wasmanufactured. Any work on the SRS system, such as remov- ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a quali-fied Hyundai technician. Improper handling ofthe SRS system may result in serious per-sonal injury.
HFC2092-DSide airbag sensor
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such objects may be-come dangerous projectiles and causeinjury if the supplemental side impactair bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of the side impact air bag that may resultin personal injury, avoid impact to theside airbag sensor when the ignitionkey is on.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water.Solvents or cleaners could adverselyaffect the airbag covers and properdeployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steeringwheel, instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbags orby rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautionsmust be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can giveyou the necessary information. Failureto follow these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk of per-sonal injury. o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to
inform the new owner of these impor-tant points and make certain that thismanual is transferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on flooring, youshouldn't try to start engine; have thecar towed to authorized Hyundaidealer.
o Do not replace the bumper or the bumper guard with the one other thanthe Hyundai genuine parts. Otherwise,it can adversely affect SRS performanceand lead to unexpected injury.

ABS SERVICE REMINDER INDICATOR (SRI)(Not all models)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will come onand then go off in a few seconds. If the ABSSRI remains on, comes on while driving, ordoes not come on when the key is turned tothe "ON" position, this indicates that theremay be a problem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Thenormal braking system will still be operational,but without the assistance of the anti-lockbrake system.
CAUTION: If the both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or come on while driving, there may be a
problem with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force
Distribution).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and
have your vehicle checked by your Hyundaidealer as soon as possible. SB210K1-E
OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
CAUTION: If the oil pressure light illuminates when the engine is running, an insufficient oilpressure level for continued safe opera-tion of the engine exists. Continued opera-tion of the engine in this condition mayresult in serious engine damage. Under normal circumstances, the light will illuminate when the ignition is turned "on" andwill be extinguished when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light illuminates whilst the engine is running, stop the engineimmediately and check the engine oil level. Ifthe level is insufficient, add the required amountof oil as indicated by the engine oil dipstick. Ifthe light fails to extinguish when the engine isrestarted, do not continue to operate the ve-hicle. If the oil pressure light illuminates during nor- mal operation and the cause is not an insuffi-cient oil level, or the light fails to illuminatewhen the ignition is turned "on", contact thenearest Hyundai dealer before further operat-ing the vehicle.
SB210G1-E TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LIGHT
Operation of a turn signal is indicated by the warning light located in the instrument cluster.If the light fails to illuminate or does not flash,a malfunction within the turn signal system isindicated.
